170. Along the coast it's very beautiful and temperate

but the farther inland you get, the warmer in summer. I lived near Sacramento and it could be 110+ degrees for two weeks straight! At least, my Dad (who was raised in Ontario and would know) always said it was a dry heat, therefore much more comfortable than humidity. I know he's right, but it's hard not getting ANY rainfall from June through October. This is my favorite time of year. BTW, what is a "shotgun" house? A quick sale?
